Change Tracking
Configuration is a Moving Target
Organizations are constantly in motion. So implementing a corporate security policy is not a one-shot deal. Every day, configuration changes are made in response to user requests for network access, security threats and changes to the network structure. Monitoring, tracking and analyzing these configuration changes is probably one of the biggest challenges facing security administrators today.
Continuous Tracking, Full Accountability
Tufin SecureTrack continuously monitors and keeps track of every firewall and router configuration change including changes to rules and network objects such as hosts and services. Comprehensive change reports include all leading vendors, using the look and feel of the vendor’s native UI. SecureTrack offers a variety of customizable change reports as well as comparisons of different network devices, or different historical snapshots. Reports can be sliced by device, by rule, by object, or by the type of change.
Full accountability is assured since each change is stored along with the administrator’s name, the date and time, and IP address of the workstation where the change originated. SecureTrack makes it possible to determine who made a change with a simple query, rather than searching through numerous log files for the needle in the haystack.
SecureTrack also integrates with leading ticketing systems so that changes can be tracked from the original request through approvals and implementation. Each change in a SecureTrack report includes a link to the relevant ticket so that you can easily access the relevant ticket for business justification and more information.
Real-Time Alerts
Using real-time alerts, SecureTrack sends e-mail to designated administrators in response to every change that may conflict with corporate, industry or regulatory security policies. Rather than wait for the next audit, SecureTrack empowers you to proactively prevent security risks before they actually arise. Alerts are also useful for ongoing management - even when you are off site, SecureTrack alerts can inform you of any or all changes via e-mail.
Tracking Changes to the Firewall OS
It’s not enough to monitor changes to security policies. Changes to the configuration and performance of the firewall operating system or firmware also directly impact security and business continuity, yet they are difficult to track with conventional methods. SecureTrack Firewall OS Monitoring keeps track of changes to firewall device configuration that can affect security, business continuity and performance. Learn more about Firewall OS Monitoring.
